Magnum Infinity Chocolate & Raspberry Ice Cream Bar

[New for 2014] Of all the Magnum flavors floating around the planet (and there are quite a few of them), the U.S. got three new Infinity bars. The dry Chocolate bar, the target exclusive Chocolate & Caramel bar, and this guy I picked up from Walmart.

Magnum Infinity Chocolate & Raspberry Ice Cream Bar

Dark Chocolate Ice Cream with a Raspberry Swirl

Dipped in Dark Chocolate and Cocoa Bean Nibs

It's so hard to photograph this guy, but I finally got it!

First bite: Mmm, so much darkness.

Second bite: Ahhh, there's a hint of raspberry.

Third bite: Whoa, there's a ton of tart raspberry in here!

See the big thick veins of raspberry sauce to the left?

So it's quality components all around, I've gotten my dark chocolate fix, and the raspberry kept it from getting too dry this time around.... but yet, I still don't love this treat. It doesn't have that fun factor you know that I look for in a bar. I just don't understand the sharp nibs, they prevent you from really being able to savoring the shell. No fun shell, no fun factor.
